POWELL’S JEWELERS 1317 O Street - Lincoln, NE 68508 - (402) 475-5527 Ohio State’s George receives Camp award COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State’s Eddie George has won the Walter Camp Football Foundation’s player-of-the-year award. George, a 6-foot-3, 227-pound senior tailback from Philadelphia, rushed 303 times thisyear for 1,826 yards and scored 23 touchdowns. Ohio State was upset by Michigan 31 -23 on Saturday, destroying the Buckeyes’ chances at a national -title. The Wolverine defense held 43eorge to only 104 yards, 52 yards below his average, and the Buck eye running back was overshad owed by Tim Biakabutuka’s ca reer-high 313 yards rushing. The Camp award is selected by Division I-A coaches and sports information directors and honors the year’s outstanding college player. Camp was a coach at Yale and Stanford in the late 1800s. George was presented the Camp Trophy on Monday at Ohio State’s Woody Hayes Athletic Center. He and teammates Terry Glenn and Orlando Pace will be honored as Camp All-Americans at the organization’s banquet Feb. 17 at Yale. Nebraska quarterback Tommie Frazier also will be hon ored as a Camp All-American. George is the first Ohio State player to win the award since Archie Griffin — now an Ohio State ath letic administrator — in 1974 and 1975. Frazier Continued from Page 7 Frazier deserves the vote for the Heisman Trophy.” Before Friday, Frazier had 16 touchdowns passing and 14 rushing — an average of three touchdowns a game. But after only accounting for one score against the Sooners, Frazier said his only concern was the win. “I don’t know if it hurts me, but right now I really don’t care about that,” he said. “That’s left in the voters hands. The best guy’s going to win it. If that’s me, then I’ll win it. If that’s Eddie George, then he’s going to win it. “I can ’ t go out there and think about if my performance is going to help me win the Heisman or not. I was out there just concentrating on Okla homa.” Frazier said he would rather credit the Oklahoma defense than blame him self and the Nebraska offense. “I was just playing my game as usual,” he said. “They were doing some things that caught us off-guard. I don’t think I played a bad game. I went out there and did everything I normally do. I really can’t grade it until I look at the tape.” George’s performance Saturday Huskers make academic team From Staff Reports Six Nebraska players were named to the District VII GTE Academic All-America team Monday. Comhusker center Aaron Graham and linebacker Ryan Terwilliger also made the team last year. In addition to Graham and Terwilliger, fullback Brian Schuster, offensive lineman Steve Ott and Steve Volin, and line backer Grant Wistrom made the team. Graham, a senior from Denton, Texas, who was a second-team Aca demic All-American last year, also was named to the Hitachi/College Football Association scholar-athlete team. Also, Nebraska linebacker Jared Tomich was named the Big Eight de fensive player of the week. also didn’t match his averages, as he moved to 1,826 yards rushing and 24 touchdowns on the season. While Frazier and George are fin ished for the regular season, Wuerffel has one more opportunity to convince Heisman voters when Florida takes on Arkansas in the Southeastern Confer ence championship game Saturday. But don’t expect Frazier to be too interested in Wuerffel’s last game — he wasn’t too interested in George’s. “If I happen to have the TV on that channel, I’ll probably watch it,” Frazier said ofthe Michigan-Ohio State game. “But I’m not going to make an effort to watch it.” SPECTACULAR LASER SHOWS CONTINUE AT MUELLER PLANETARIUM Dec 1 & 2 LED ZEPPELIN [90 minutes show starts at 7, 9 & 11p.m.) Dec 8 & 9 R.E.M.

After posting a perfect regular-sea son record for the third straight year, Osborne didn’t expect to go unde feated. I thought there would be a chance,” Osborne said. “I didn’t necessarily think it would be a good chance.” Nebraska’s 11-0 season marked the first time the Huskers had obtained perfect regular-season records for three consecutive years. “I think tlie odds are always against you to go 11 -0 no matter how good your team is,” Osborne said. Hilo Continued from Page 7 Moore added 16 points each for the Huskers, who won their first three game regular-season tournament title since 1967. Moore, who grabbed eight re bounds against Minnesota, paced the Huskers’ rebounding effort in the championship game.
